[Verse 1]
I'm holdin' back a flood of tears
Just thinkin' 'bout those happy years
Like all the good times that are no more
My love is gone, gone, gone forever more
Silence so deep only my soul can hear
Says now the past is what I fear
The future isn't what it used to be
Only today is all that's promised me

[Chorus]
Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away and leave it all far behind
Flow on, river of time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
We're all driven by the winds of change
Seems like nothing ever stays the same
It's fate that guides me around the bend
Life's forever beginning, beginning again

[Chorus]
Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away and leave it all far behind
Flow on, river of time
[Outro]
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Flow on
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Flow on
Flow on, river of time
